Sorry I missed your comment, Labby.
I was working on an episode adaptation, but I didn't want to WATCH the episode again since I really wanted to make the story my own. I remembered that a character had an accent, but for the life of me I couldn't place it. She could be from Australia, London, Wales or even Boston for all I know.
I decided she would be British, just so I could write her consistantly. As to where she's from, obviously that would be from wherever my beta reader is from since it's obvious she's not from my neck of the woods.
The city isn't really that important, it's just one of those details of characterization that I want to be consistent on.
